P&L Calendar
The Calendar is your trading history laid out as an actual calendar. Each cell is a day; each day is colored by how you did.
Reading the grid
- Green days are profitable.
- Red days are losing.
- Grey or empty days are days you didn't trade (or the market was closed).
- The bigger the dollar figure on the day, the more saturated the color.
At a glance, a month that's mostly green with a few small red days tells a different story than one with three giant green days and a dozen small red ones — even if the totals are the same.
Navigating
Use the ◀ / ▶ arrows to move month-to-month, or click Today to snap back to the current month.
The cumulative P&L line
Below or alongside the grid is a running line chart of your cumulative profit and loss over the period in view. A steadily rising line is what you want; choppy ups-and-downs that net to flat tell you something different from a smooth climb.
Filters
The Calendar reacts instantly to the filters above the grid:
- Source — show only automated trades, only manual ones, or both.
- Strategy — a multi-select dropdown that appears once you've traded more than one strategy. Tick one or more strategies and the calendar, the cumulative P&L line, and the month's charts all repaint to reflect just those strategies; leave it empty to include them all. Each strategy carries its own colored dot to match its pill elsewhere in the portal. The dropdown only lists strategies that have trades under the Source and Live/Paper filters you've set, so you'll never pick one that leaves the calendar empty — and if a filter change hides a strategy you'd ticked, it's dropped from your selection automatically.
- Live / Paper — when this is available on your account, switch between real-money and paper trades.
- Range — view today, the week, the month, the year, or all time.
Example
You traded three strategies in May but want to see how one of them did on its own. Open the Strategy dropdown, tick just that one, and the calendar repaints — the green and red days now reflect only that strategy's results.
Tap a day for the detail
Tapping a day expands it to list every trade that closed on that day. It's the quickest way to answer "What on earth happened last Tuesday?"
Example
You see one bright-red -$420 Tuesday in an otherwise green week. You tap the cell, and the expanded view shows two stop-out trades and one big loss on a put. Now you have something specific to learn from instead of just a feeling that "Tuesday was bad."
